Android Question problems compiling references

[Roberto P.]

Hello to all
I changed my PC and I had to install everything in the development and configuration environment.
With the new version, it gives me problems that I did not have before, even following all the instructions.

Here is the mistake:

B4A Version: 7.80
Parsing code.    (1.37s)
Compiling code.    (3.40s)
Compiling layouts code.    (0.50s)
Organizing libraries.    (2.68s)
Generating R file.    (0.68s)
Compiling generated Java code.    (14.30s)
Convert byte code - optimized dex.    Error
trouble writing output: Too many field references: 73099; max is 65536.
You may try using --multi-dex option.

I tried to change the parameters of the end b4xv5.ini:

UseOptimizedDexer=True

MaxRamForDex=3072
NumberOfRecentFiles=12
NumberOfRecentSearches=20
OptimizedDexerPort=31161
PlatformFolder=C:\Android\platforms\android-27
ProcessesTimeoutSeconds=600
ProxyHost=
ProxyPort=

I precise that use Java 9
JavaBin=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9.0.4\bin

Thank in advance

Maybe the problem is in using Java 9. B4A is designed to use Java 8

Maybe it just helps using

#MultiDex: true

in your main projectcode..

I thought I had read in the last few notes that B4A 7.8 supported Java 9.

with the #MultiDex parameter: true works.

thanks for help

It's compile, but have this error:

Convert byte code - optimized dex. (12.04s)
Optimized dexer failed. Switching to Standard dexer.

What could it be?
thank

This is not an error and it is expected from time to time. It just means that compilation will take a few seconds longer.

 

[Roberto P.]

ok Erel. I repeat what I wrote in another post, that the compilation is slow: 40 seconds, with Windows 10, MacBookPro 15 '', SSD, Core I7 processor!
thank you

 

[Erel]

What is dev.meta.sb? Is it your package name?

 

[Roberto P.]

Yes

 

[Erel]

My guess is that you inserted a lot of data to your code instead of loading it from a file or database. This is based on the very large number of field references.

 

[Roberto P.]

Erel, maybe I did not understand what you mean. But they are all files of the program and not data. Not being able to divide the program into separate modules, because there is the problem of graphic resources, the size of the program becomes large.

 

[Erel]

Based on the very large number of references I guess that you've added into your code data that could have been added in a non-code files. This is just a guess.

Hello
I'm not sure I understood correctly.
I specify that I have many activities, classes, modules and script designers. I do not know how I could optimize all this. I have developed libraries to handle .B.L functions. (Business Logic) independent of the activities.

We accept tips and suggestions.
